Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "A.F." (Anselm Francis) on the reverse side, which was a personal touch added by the Archbishop Anselm Francis of Ingelheim, who ruled from 1691 to 1693. This coin was minted during his reign and is a rare example of a coin that bears the personal mark of a ruler.
